ELDERLY

Taken aback I was, looking at the ugly old person in front of me.

An ugly wrinkled face, fluffy eyes, a fat human, I could see.

Gone where was that pretty, attractive face, ever smiling ?

Lines of pain I saw, in there, along with the creases; she wasn't smiling.

Clothing to wear was now a task;
For little things, she had to ask.

Forget running, now difficult it was to walk; it seemed a Herculean task.

Worried about the future, elders are; because difficult become, easy deeds.

Rely they on others for almost everything; even awaiting their feeds.

Lord Kind Help the elderly.
